At Motive, we believe accurate AI can improve the safety, productivity, and profitability of every business that operates fleets, regardless of industry or region. That\u2019s why we are excited to announce that we have expanded to the United Kingdom<\/a>. With the opening of a new London office and the appointment of regional vice president of UK markets, Nyanya Joof, our AI-powered solutions for Driver Safety<\/a>, Fleet Management<\/a>, and Workforce Management<\/a> are now available for businesses in the UK with complex physical operations.

Our expansion builds on strong North American adoption and supports fleets across industries such as transportation<\/a>, construction<\/a>, field services<\/a>, energy<\/a>, utilities<\/a>, and the food and beverage<\/a> sector. \u201cMotive\u2019s mission is to empower the people who run physical operations with tools to make their work safer and more productive,\u201d said Shoaib Makani, CEO and Co-founder of Motive. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring that mission to the UK at a time when AI can make a meaningful difference\u2014helping businesses reduce road collisions, lower costs, automate manual work, and accelerate the transition to more sustainable operations. Our platform is already delivering measurable results around the world, and we look forward to unlocking that same value for businesses in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses with fleets in the UK face growing challenges, including a projected shortage of 200,000 Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) drivers<\/a> over the next five years; rising fuel, insurance, and maintenance costs; and heightened road casualties following nearly 130,000 incidents<\/a> in 2024 alone. At the same time, businesses are under pressure to improve sustainability and transition to electric vehicles (EVs), while managing outdated, siloed systems that limit operational visibility and agility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help address these difficulties, Nyanya Joof will lead Motive\u2019s regional strategy, hiring, and go-to-market (GTM) execution. With over 15 years of experience scaling GTM teams across Europe, she will oversee how Motive supports UK customers with tools designed to address their most urgent safety, workforce, and cost-related challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
